Preeti to Unicode Converter
Convert Nepali Preeti font to Unicode and back, instantly and free in your browser. Paste Preeti text to get proper Unicode Nepali (Devanagari).
How to convert Preeti to Unicode
Paste your Preeti text into the box and the converter instantly turns it into proper Unicode Nepali (Devanagari). Preeti is an ASCII font, so the Roman keystrokes only *look* like Nepali while the font is installed — paste them anywhere else and they turn to gibberish. Converting to Unicode fixes that permanently, so your text displays correctly in Word, on the web, on phones and in email. The tool also goes the other way (Unicode → Preeti) for printing with the old font.
Why Preeti text breaks — and what Unicode fixes
Preeti (and its cousins Kantipur and Sagarmatha) map Nepali glyphs onto English letter codes. Without the font, 'g]lt' is meaningless; with Unicode, it becomes नेपाली that every device understands. Our converter correctly repositions the ि matra, handles the reph (र्) and rebuilds conjuncts, so words like राष्ट्रिय and विद्यार्थी come out right rather than scrambled.
Free, private and instant
The whole conversion runs in your browser — nothing is uploaded, nothing is stored, and there's no sign-up or character limit. Convert a single word or paste a whole document; it's processed on your own device in real time. It's ideal for migrating old Preeti archives, government documents and newspaper text to modern Unicode Nepali.

Frequently Asked Questions
How do I convert Preeti to Unicode?
Paste your Preeti text into the input box and the Unicode Nepali appears instantly on the right. Copy it and paste it into Word, a website, email or your phone — it will now display correctly everywhere, with no Preeti font required.
Why does my Preeti text turn into gibberish when I share it?
Preeti is an ASCII font: the underlying text is really English letters that only look like Nepali while the Preeti font is installed. On any device without the font you see scrambled characters. Converting to Unicode stores the actual Devanagari characters, so it works on every device.
Can it convert Unicode back to Preeti?
Yes. Switch the direction to Unicode → Preeti and paste Unicode Nepali to get Preeti font code, which you can paste into Word or a DTP layout and set to the Preeti font for printing.
Does it also support Kantipur and Sagarmatha?
Yes — pick Kantipur or Sagarmatha from the font list. They're Nepali ASCII fonts like Preeti and convert both ways. Fontasy Himali and PCS Nepali are also supported (to Unicode).
Is it accurate with matras and conjuncts?
Yes. It repositions the ि matra, handles the reph (र्) and rebuilds conjuncts, so words like राष्ट्रिय and विद्यार्थी convert correctly instead of scrambling.
Is it free and private?
Completely free, no sign-up, and it runs entirely in your browser — your text is never uploaded or stored.
